A lot of things have happened in the past few days concerning Zeta, BeOS, and Haiku. In order to create some order in the chaos, Eugenia and I have created a rough timeline of what happened the past 6-7 years. Read on for the timeline and some more thoughts on the matter. Update:Magnusoft ceases distribution of Zeta. Update II: Access answered the questions posed in the article.

Korz may have deluded himself. Like some of the more notable figures of history, he may have acted in the belief he was right.

People make mistakes. Bernd Korz made a few mistakes. These things happen. I think, it's better to accept them, learn from them, and look forward.
